SHADE-RDLLER BRACKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 21, 1919.

Application filed June 25, 1919. Serial No. 306,645.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OLIVER M. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Coon Rapids, in the county of Carroll and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade-Roller Brackets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact de scription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in window brackets for supporting shade rollers, without the use of tacks, nails or other fastening means, the device being adapted to fit stops of windows of various sizes on window j ambs.

The invention comprises a simple and elficient device of this character, having various details of construction, combination and arrangement of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation showing the application of my invention, and

Fig. 2 is a plan View.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter:

A designates a window, and B a stop therein. The bracket C is made of a single piece of wire which is bent to form a loop D to receive the ends of a shade roller, and one arm E of the arm is bent horizontally, thence at right angles at two locations, designated by letters F and H, adapted to fit over the stop of a window and the end of the arm E is pointed and bent in alinement with the arm E and is adapted to bite into the edge of the stop B to hold the bracket in position. The other arm K of the bracket serves as a brace and is disposed at an inclination and has a point I and adjacent to the point the arm is bent, as shown clearly in the drawings in order to prevent the point engaging too far underneath the stop. The brackets are formed right and left and adapted to support the ends of window shade rollers, blinds, etc, and may be easily and quickly adjusted to a window without the use of any fastening means whatever.

'What I claim to be new is:

A bracket for supporting window shade rollers made of a single piece of wire bent to form a U-shaped portion one arm of which is curved and forms a resilient arm pointed at its end and adjacent to the latter having a concaved portion, the other arm or U-shaped portion bent at right angles in the plane of the U-shaped part, thence laterally into bail-shaped form and having its end pointed and in alinement with the plane of the U-shaped portion.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.

OLIVER MORTON TAYLOR.
